He stated: “I woke up this morning from my night shift and I will still be going back to my night shift. That is to say we are keeping vigil. “We are rotating the shift among ourselves. As regards what they are saying about impeachment , it is not possible because the international community is aware of their plot. “Don’t be discouraged. They will intimidate you as they do to us. Like myself, I don’t know how many times they have been calling me. We didn’t know they have come to truncate democracy. “But the Senate president, being a product of PDP, has come to the rescue of the situation.” Senator Philip Gyunka, had earlier said that any plot to illegally impeach the Senate President, will be strongly resisted. He reacted to the role played by the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, in the matter, he said the position of the Constitution on who should be president of the Senate was clear. According to him, unlike majority and minority leadership, which are from majority and minority parties, a lawmaker can be president of the Senate, irrespective of party affiliation.
